"In affectionate remembrance of William ARMSTRONG of North Shields who died
at Morton on Swale September 3rd 1869 aged 70 years
For me to live is Christ and to die is to gain"
ARMSTRONG is a hugely common name in the north-east and perhaps the most
remembered is the great Victorian inventor and engineer, Lord William
ARMSTRONG [1810 to 1900].
